Hey, they're kinda scattered all over at the moment.
I'm writing a bit about my experience, but please don't limit your comments to addressing what I've written. If you want to do so, great, but I'd like to read what you guys have experienced as well.
I'm a little confused by NXT Spray Wax, not because of the way it looks (it looks like a fresh coat of NXT), but because of its action in my particular circumstance. Perhaps with more knowledge I will be able to wrap my mind around things a little bit better, and understand what is going on.
I posted in another thread about how ALL spray waxes have a cleaning effect on my car, not just NXT, and how I couldn't see any economy in a product that needs to be spread around with an applicator and allowed to haze; if one needs to do that, then why not wax the car? Mike Phillips made a couple reasonable points, the first being that Mazda single stage red is a very soft paint, and the second being that the technique is to use the applicator to ensure coverage, as in quick swipes, rather than work the wax into the paint. Fair enough.
On Friday, I NXT'd my car. On Sunday, I drove a couple hours in salt dust and snow melt to a party and back, and Monday night I QEW'd the car and NXTQWx'd it. I followed Mike's suggestion to use the applicator to spread the wax around; I wiped the car quickly and very lightly, using first a terry applicator and then a MF applicator (I've used a foam applicator in the past). I will agree that it is faster than waxing the car with the regular wax; I think that what I'm seeing is that the car is so small I'm not saving all that much time. If I were to compare waxing the Trailblazer with QWing the Trailblazer, I'd see a greater difference!
Here are my applicators and mf removal cloth:
See, the pigment on the tools confuses me.
Now don't get me wrong, the car looks great, and that's my goal. The car looks better than it did before I used the NXTQW. As long as I understand what is going on, I don't care about the pigment on the rags.
My questions therefore, are these:
1) After using the Spray Wax, is there more NXT, less NXT, or about the same NXT as there was before I used it, regardless of the red?
2) Same question, but is there... [more, less, about the same] ...as there was when I first applied the NXT, on Friday, again regardless?
As long as I'm satisfied that I'm not going backwards and undoing the work I've already done, I'll like this product. It's the feeling that I'm going backward that I need to shake, that I have less wax than before I NXTQW'd.
